Making waves in the industry as the next generation of brand licensing, The Point.1888 will be working with Tinpo owner Cloudco Entertainment to secure a number of long-term sustainable licensee partnerships across a spectrum of retailers. It is hoped the programme will drive greater awareness for the brand as it enters its first full year on the CBeebies channel.

Tinpo, which launchedwith a primetime sloton CBeebies In Q4 2018,is already proving extremely popular with its pre-school audience. Described as a construction-themed fantasy, the main character Tinpo and his team use fun, innovation and wonder to solve problems in their unique world and “get the job done”.

As part of the agreement with The Point.1888, the brand will be looking at Publishing, Toys, Home, Arts & Crafts, Puzzles and Games with the first products expected to be released from AW2019.

Established in 2014, The Point.1888 delivers retail focused brand extension programmes through partnership licensing agreements. The company has grown exponentially in the last 12 months, building strategic licensing programmes for Yvonne Ellen, Barratt, and Battersea. It was its award-winning work and vast experience with children’s brands such as L.O.L Surprisedrew Cloudco Entertainment to the agency.

Representatives from Cloudco Entertainment and The Point.1888 will be attending next week’s Toyfair at London Olympia to promote the new licencing opportunity and secure licensee and retail partners.

 

Bethan Garton, Retail & Brand Director, The Point.1888, said: “As a mum, I’m only too familiar with the brilliantly fun and educational content on CBeebies. To be able to work with Tinpo which has already made such a big impression on the channels’ viewers is incredibly exciting and we can’t wait to show the impact a brand licensing programme will have.”

 

Roubina Tchoboian, Director of International Licensing, Cloudco Entertainment, said: “Cloudco Entertainment is no stranger to brand licensing but with The Point.1888 we saw something different on offer. Their honesty, dedication and relationships with retail buyers really made them stand out to us and with Tinpo still growing in popularity in the UK, the match felt right. We’re delighted with our decision and excited to be developing some new products for Tinpo’s fans.”
